Yeah, short of cleaning the thing every day it wouldn't stay much cleaner lol.

My daughter and I went to the pool. She rode in the Lexus for 2 miles and it was covered in goldfish crumbs in the back. 2 miles!

There are days! Haha.

Her favorite thing to do in the Lexus is open those vanity mirrors in the back so she can look at herself lol

And this is why my wife's next SUV is going to be a used one... haha Kids are so damn hard on things; can't stand the thought of buying a brand new car right now and letting them beat the hell out of it.

^^^ Maybe, but I'd probably still cringe a bit! haha Do they still make minivans with the built in vacuums? I remember when that was a "feature" they actually advertised in commercials!

Cleaning premium cars is usually easier than mainstream. They usually have better covers of seat rails etc, better carpets and floor mats that fit better, and no cheap plastics that seem to absorb dirt.

Might I suggest the Wagon Queen Family Truckster! Seriously, though we had a 1982ish Caprice Classic station wagon with the third row seat that faced backwards. I seem to remember feeling carsick from riding backwards a few times. The other family we hung out with were more uptown with the Oldsmobile version.

^^ I can hear every character from Seinfeld saying this! (mainly picturing George saying it)

Back on topic - I can't believe I'm reading parts of this thread where you're actually considering another Pacifica... Why would you do that to yourself? In various parts of the thread you mention you'll never own another FCA product and then you say you're getting a quote on a 2 year lease... Don't do it. Time is your most valuable resource and sounds like you've put way too much time into dealing with issues of your Pacifica.
